Zepto’s Aadit Palicha says quick commerce has not hurt kirana stores: ’Will create more jobs than Railways in 2-3 years’

Zepto founder Aadith Palicha has claimed that quick commerce platforms have not hurt traditional kirana stores and that the industry has created jobs in the economy.

Palicha said in an interview with Moneycontrol that the idea of traditional kirana stores being impacted by quick commerce brands such as Zepto, Blinkit, BigBasket, and Instamart was false. He called it “anecdotal” and a “data-free narrative.”
